Frownland by Capt. Beefheart and The Magic Band

[stlsaxman]

This song made me feel so good today when it popped in iTunes, I just HAD to share! B-)

Frownland

My smile is stuck
I cannot go back t' yer Frownland
My spirit's made up of the ocean
And the sky 'n the sun 'n the moon
'n all my eye can see

I cannot go back to yer land of gloom
Where black jagged shadows
Remind me of the comin' of the doom
I want my own land

Take my hand 'n come with me
It's not too late for you
It's not too late for me
To find my homeland
Where uh man can stand by another man
Without an ego flyin'
With no man lyin'
'n no one dyin' by an earthly hand

Let the devil burn 'n the beggar learn
'n the little girls that live in those old worlds
Take my kind hand
My smile is stuck
I cannot go back t' yer Frownland
I cannot go back t' yer Frownland
